A Sioux Indian is in love with a girl of another tribe and tries to win her with many gifts, but another Indian outbids him. Greatly disappointed, the unhappy lover takes himself off and the girl goes with her husband to his home. Here the girl goes into a deep sleep after drinking a potion given her by a little boy who is in league with the unfortunate lover. Thinking that she is dead, the members of the tribe give her a customary Indian burial. From her couch of death, the body is stolen by her true lover, who, after being pursued by his rival's tribe across the plains, finally succeeds in delivering her into the tent of a medicine man, who brings her to life again, and they are left happily clasped in each other's embrace.
